Why they chose this property

This property is so special. It was a historic Southern Gothic mansion, which had been owned for many year's by a foreign attache from Birmingham. He had an eclectic art collection and a vast library of books (many of them you will find around the home). My wife and I purchased the house from his estate in 2017 and worked for over a year to make it a one-of-a-kind vacation rental. Each of the house's five apartments has its own vibe and decor -- from artsy and modern to a fun 70's revival. The set up of the house is perfect for groups traveling together, as it offers the privacy of separate apartments with many shared spaces, both inside and out. When the whole house isn't rented, we offer the individual apartments for rent, giving guests access to the home's beautiful outdoor amenities.
